In
a survey of 798 likely voters conducted August 31 through September 3,
Zogby found that if Johnson’s name was not mentioned, Obama and Romney
were basically tied, with Obama receiving 43.8 percent of the vote,
Romney getting 43.5 percent, and 12.7 percent undecided.

But
throw Johnson’s name in and the numbers shift toward Obama is a way
that could swing what is expected to be one of the closest elections
ever.

Obama now gets 42.7 percent of the vote compared to 41
percent for Romney, with 4.3 percent backing Johnson and 12 percent
unsure.

Libertarians are one of the core Republicans groups and
among the most likely to stick with their preferred candidate on the
basis of principle. Support among Libertarians for Libertarian hero and
Republican presidential primary candidate Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) has an
almost religious cast to it. Johnson, the former New Mexico governor
who ran also unsuccessfully in the GOP primaries, is clearly targeting
the Paul vote.

A video that pops up upon accessing Johnson’s campaign website sounds more like a plug for Ron Paul than Gary Johnson.

WHO CARES! There is very little difference between the stated policy goals of Romney and Obama. It will be more of the same fascism regardless of which one wins. If you must vote, vote for Johnson, seeing that Ron Paul has no chance as a write-in candidate for POTUS. I have decided not to vote, seeing the blatant and sustained corruption in the election processes from local precincts thru state and federal levels, in both parties. I do not consent to be governed by such evil. I will, however, go to the polling place and inform the fools there why I won't vote. You might consider doing the same.
